A Better Coke

Tuesday, July 21, 2009 / Posted by Ny Minute Now /

A former colleague shared this video over Plurk and my gosh—I remember this song, almost by heart! (And did you know Lilet relaunched her singing career a couple of years ago with the name Marielle?) Anyway, to refresh your memory, this was a popular Coca-Cola tv commercial in the 80's. I'd forgotten a Tagalog version also came out. I haven't seen this since I was a kid (second grade?) so I got goosebumps hearing it again.



Sing along if you like :)

I am the future of the world
I am the hope of my nation
I am tomorrow's people
I am the new inspiration

And we've got a song to sing to you
We've got a message to bring to you

Remember me
For you and for me
And tomorrow (tomorrow)
If we all can agree
There'll be sweet harmony
Tomorrow (tomorrow)

And we all will be there
Coca-Cola to share
Feeling so real and so true
(Feeling so real and so true)

Promise us tomorrow
And we'll build a better world for you
(Build a better world for you)

I LOVE this song! They don't make commercials like this anymore.

Hey Mariel!
I remember this TVC so well. We even sang it for our group oral test back in grade school. :) And yes, I love the lyrics, too!

I know, right?! I remember all but two lines! So I reckon we are the same age/batch?:D
